The crew put good effort into the experience, really personable.

Absolutely amazing experience! Comfortable ride with stellar views and good company! Watching the sunset on Haleakalā is just breathtaking! Don’t let the clouds fool you. Guide was knowledgeable regarding the area and dinner was delicious! Would definitely do it again!

The crew on the boat was great, funny, helpful and knowledgeable.
The reef area the boat drove to and parked in was prettt boring. We saw maybe 4 types of fish and didnt travel anywhere else.
The diver brought a lot of neat things by the boat.

I thought I would encounter them a bit more, but I only finally found them towards the end. It was great to see them up close, but I do think the timing was off. I would like to try again someday.

もう少し遭遇できるのかなと思っていましたが、最後の方でやっと見つかったくらい。
近くで見れたのは良かったけど、やはり時季が悪かったのかなと思います。
いつかリトライしたいかな

It's been several years since I learned about the guide Yamapi on the information program "In Love with Hawaii"... I never imagined that I would have the chance to meet him. That made the moment of the hotel pickup incredibly emotional for me. For Yamapi, it may have just been another day in his 15-year career, but he navigated with full effort and led us to breathtaking views that I had never seen before. Standing at a crossroads in my life, his words shared under the starry sky resonated deeply with me. My visit to Maui, which I intended to be a culmination of my experiences, has now turned into a hope that I will definitely return! Thank you very much.

情報番組『ハワイに恋して』でガイドのヤマピーさんを存じ上げてから幾年…まさかお会いできる日がくるとは思ってもいませんでした。それだけに、ホテルピックアップの時点で感無量。ヤマピーさんにおかれてはキャリア15年のうちの１回にすぎない１日も、全力でナビゲートしていただき、見たことのない素晴らしい景色に導いて下さいました。私自身、人生の岐路に立っている今、星空のもと語られたヤマピーさんのお言葉が胸に響きました。私にとって集大成のつもりで訪れたマウイ島がまた必ずや戻ってくるぞ！の希望にかわりました。ありがとうございました。

The guy who checks you In was somewhat rude and condescending. I know their job is to promote and sell the ATV Tours — but they really should caution beginners - our initial guide kept speeding up and i was downright terrified.

Lots of steep uphill and downhill spurts with extremely rocky terrain— with no guard rails or vegetation - so if one mistook the throttle you could go off the edge!

First guide ended up calling another guide who was much better with a slow rider (myself)- and the first guide continued on with 2 faster riders . The 2nd guide was great with me being a beginner.

On the day of the event, the wind was calm, and there were no clouds, creating the perfect conditions. We leisurely made our way to the summit, taking multiple bathroom breaks. At Foodland, we received recommendations from our guide, Yama-P, and it felt like we were on a little supermarket tour, which was fun! We ended up buying a lot of recommended items. We also chose our sushi for dinner there. As we climbed to the summit, we enjoyed listening to Yama-P's stories. He took us to a less crowded spot for the sunset. We enjoyed our time for about 30 minutes until the sunset. After reaching the summit, we took pictures and received explanations while it was still slightly bright. It gets quite chilly at the summit, so don’t forget to dress warmly! Afterward, we descended a bit and finally did some stargazing! While they prepared chairs, we enjoyed the dinner we bought from the supermarket in the car. It was nice to have it in a warm setting. We also had some warm tea.

When we stepped outside and looked up, we were amazed by the stunning night sky! The number of stars visible to the naked eye was unlike anything I had ever seen before, spanning 180 degrees... this was a first-time experience for me. It was truly a natural planetarium! It was beautifully set up. We also used a telescope to see many stars that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.

Other stargazing tours often require standing or viewing in the cold, which can be tough for someone like me who isn't fond of the cold. However, this tour allowed us to sit in chairs, and they even provided warm blankets and gloves, making it a thoroughly enjoyable experience without any strain!

当日は風が少なく、雲もなく最高のコンディションでした。何度もトイレ休憩を挟みながらのんびり山頂へ向かいます。途中で寄ってくれるFoodlandでは山ピーさんお勧めの物を教えて貰えて、スーパーのツアーをして頂けたようで楽しかったです！お勧めを沢山買ってしまいました。夜ご飯になるお寿司もそこで自分達で選びました。山頂到着まで山ピーさんのお話を聞きながらまったり登ります。サンセットは人の少ないスポットに連れて行ってくれます。サンセットまでの約30分間それぞれの時間を楽しみました。サンセット後はまず山頂へ。まだ薄明るい中で写真を撮ったり説明を受けます。山頂はやはりぐんと冷え込みますので、厚着をお忘れなく！その後また少し降り、最後に星空観測です！椅子などを準備して頂いている間に、スーパーで買った夕食を車の中で頂きました。暖かい中で頂けるのは嬉しかったです。温かいお茶も頂きました。
外に出て、上を見上げパッと目を開けた時には感動の夜空が広がっていました！今まで見たことのない星の数が肉眼で見れます。それも180度…こんな体験は初めてです。まさに天然プラネタリウム=天プラ！上手に仕上がってました。笑
望遠鏡も使って肉眼では見れない星も沢山見させて頂きました。
他の星空観測ツアーは立ったままみたり、寒い中見たりと、寒さが苦手な私には星を楽しみたい反面酷な時間でもあったのですが、このツアーは椅子に座りながら、温かい毛布と手袋まで下さり、無理なく楽しめる大満足のツアーでした！

On the day of the tour, we drove there with a rental car. We quickly found parking, but the meeting point was not at the address listed; it was in the area circled in the map photo that was sent later. It was a bit confusing, but we found it right away. After confirming attendance, we signed the board and received our boarding passes before setting sail. Breakfast was already prepared on board, with fruits, bread, and coffee available. The boat is two stories, with a kitchen, bar, and two restrooms on the first floor. The second floor has the cockpit and benches for passengers. Most of the participants in the tour were young couples and families, with few Asians present.

The tour took us to two locations. The first stop was Molokini Island, where we could enjoy snorkeling for about an hour. The tour includes goggles and fins, but not wetsuits. We rented wetsuits for $10 each on the day. The water temperature was a bit low, so having one would be more comfortable if you plan to stay in the water for a long time. On the way to the second location, we had hamburgers, which were incredibly delicious after swimming! Be sure to enjoy them while breathing in the fresh air; it feels wonderful. The second spot is said to be where sea turtles can be seen around Waimea. As the guide mentioned, we were able to see a sleeping sea turtle! On the way back, drinks were available at the bar, including three types of beer and Mai Tais. We enjoyed a relaxing adult time. I highly recommend it.

当日はレンタカーで自分達で向かいました。駐車場はすぐに見つけられましたが、集合場所が住所に記載された場所ではなく、後から送られてくるマップ写真の丸で囲った部分でした。少し混同しましたが、すぐに見つけられました。出欠確認をして、サインボードにサインをして、ボーディングパスを貰って出航です。船内には既に朝食が用意されていました。フルーツやパン、コーヒーを楽しめます。船は二階建で一階部分にキッチンとバー、トイレが二箇所あります。二階は操縦席と客席用のベンチがありました。ツアーに参加されている人は、若い夫婦、家族連れが多かったです。アジア系は少ないです。ツアーでは二箇所を巡りました。一箇所目はモロキニ島。約1時間の間シュノーケルを楽しめます。ツアーにはゴーグルとフィンは含まれますが、ウェアは含まれません。私達は当日1人10ドルで借りました。水温が少し低いので、長時間水の中に居るのであればあった方が快適だと思います。二箇所目に向かう道中で、ハンバーガーを頂きました。これがまた泳いで疲れた身体には最高に美味しかったです！是非外の空気を吸いながら召し上がって下さい。幸せを感じます。二箇所はワイメアの辺りの海亀が見られると言われているスポットでした。ガイドさんの言う通り、居眠りをしている海亀さんを見る事が出来ました！帰り道では、バーでお酒が頂けます。3種類のビールに、マイタイなど。大人の時間をまったりと楽しめました。お勧めです。

I went on this awesome trail ride on the 16th. It was so amazing and I LOVED all the animals on the ranch. I loved it so much I rescheduled for a 2nd ride on the 20th!!!

Since the cruise was on April 13th, I was worried that there might not be any whales left. But they found them for us! We were able to see a mother and her calf, along with a male whale chasing after the mother. It turns out this male is not the father, just a pursuer. The mother whale is busy raising her calf and has no interest in him, yet he persistently follows her. Well, it might be nice to have him around like a bodyguard.

Thanks to our Japanese guide, Taka, who provided humorous and detailed explanations, we had a wonderful time. Maui has many surrounding islands, so the water is shallow and there are fewer sharks. This is why whales can safely give birth here. However, there aren't many fish in this area, so the mother whale is sacrificing her own body to feed her calf. Once the calf is big enough, they return to the rich feeding grounds of the Alaskan seas.

I really understood why there are so many whales in Maui, and I’m so glad I chose this cruise. Thank you, Taka!! And thank you, Veltra!!

４月１３日のクルーズだったので、もうクジラはいないかと不安でした。でもちゃんと見つけてくれました！一組の親子と、そのお母さんを追いかけるオスのくじらを観ることができました。このオスはお父さんではないそうです。ただのおっかけ。お母さんくじらは子育てで忙しいのでその気はないのに、しくこく追っかけてくるそうです。まぁ、ボディガードみたいでいいのかもしれませんね。
日本人のガイドのタカさんのユーモアあふれる詳しい説明のおかげで、楽しいひと時を送らせていただきました。
マウイは周りに島が多いので水深が浅く、さめが少ないとのこと。だからくじらはここで安心して出産が出来るそうです。でもこのあたりは餌となる魚が少ないのでお母さんくじらは身を削って子供におっぱいをあげているそうです。
子供が十分大きくなったら餌の豊富なアラスカの海に帰っていくそうです。
マウイ島にくじらが多い訳もわかり、本当にこのクルーズにして良かったと思いました。
タカさんありがとう！！
そしてベルトラさんありがとう！！

Highly recommend this tour! You really see the diversity of the island. The waterfalls are beautiful, the banana bread was delicious and seeing both sides of the island made you get a real feel for Maui.

This would be good with the kids. I don't have kids so, anyway with family this is great. As an adult date situation not as much. Go with the kids and have fun.

Great tour of the pineapple fields and processing. Thankfully my wife printed the receipt showing we paid through Veltra for the Pineapple and Distillery tour because Maui Gold has no record of it.

Amaaaaaazing time well spent with this tour. Such beautiful soulful animals! The people who work here are awesome and passionate and, as a fellow animal lover, kindred spirits!

Nice ride. I appreciated that I could change my return time

The show while enjoying delicious food and drinks at a table right in front of the ocean with a beautiful starry sky was amazing! The Kahiko and Tahitian hula performances were very impressive.

The buffet is served in order by table, and drinks are all-you-can-drink. You will be asked to show your passport when ordering alcohol, but it wasn't necessary after the second time.

It gets quite windy at night, so it's a good idea to bring a jacket! You can enjoy the food, scenery, and show for about three hours.

海が目の前の席で星空も綺麗な中、美味しい料理とドリンクをいただきながらのショーは最高でした！カヒコとタヒチ、フラと見ごたえたっぷりです。
席ごとにビュッフェは順番に案内され、ドリンクは飲み放題です。お酒を頼む時にパスポートの提示を求められますが、2回目以降は特に必要ありませんでした。
夜は風が強いので上着はあった方がいいです！
料理に景色にショーと約3時間、たっぷり楽しめ
ます。

The crew was fast and friendly, the ocean was calm and a brilliant blue. Easy does it, there on time and a great way to travel!

The food was great. The show was good. The staff was wonderful. The only drawback was that we had to stand up at the back in order to see anything as our seats were so far away and angled so that the people next to us completely blocked our view!

We were blessed with great weather, calm waves, and high visibility, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling under excellent conditions. Among the participants, we were the only two Japanese, but thanks to the wonderful support from the staff member Takako, we were able to spend our time from check-in to check-out without any worries or inconveniences. Even though it was already April, at the end of the season, we were thrilled to see whales multiple times before reaching Molokini Island. At the snorkeling spot, Takako quickly found a sea turtle and let us know, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. The meals and drinks on the boat were diverse and delicious, and during snack time, they even walked around distributing cookies on the deck, showcasing their thorough hospitality. Throughout the tour, it was impressive to see the staff working energetically and happily. This became the best memory of our trip. I highly recommend this to anyone planning to visit Maui!

天候に恵まれて、波が静かで透明度も高く、とてもよい条件の中でシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。参加者の中で日本人は私たち2名だけでしたが、スタッフのタカコさんの気配りの行き届いた素晴らしいサポートのおかげで、チェックインからアウトまで、何の不安も不自由もなく過ごすことができました。シーズンも終わりの4月だったにもかかわらず、モロキニ島に着くまでに何度もクジラをみることができ、感激でした。シュノーケリングスポットでは、タカコさんがいち早くウミガメを見つけて教えてくれて、存分に楽しむことができました。船中での食事や飲み物も種類豊富で美味しく、おやつタイムには甲板にまでクッキーを配り歩いてくれるなど、徹底したホスピタリティを感じました。ツアーを通して、スタッフの皆さんがきびきびとかつ楽しそうに働いている姿が印象的でした。今回の旅行で一番の思い出になりました。マウイに行かれる方に、是非おすすめしたいです！！

I initially considered going by rental car, but it was definitely the right choice to sign up for the tour. The continuous curves and some roads without guardrails are safer to leave to the professionals. My 7-year-old and 11-year-old participated as well, and there were no issues since we took breaks and ascended slowly. For those who are prone to motion sickness, it's advisable to take medication in advance and ensure you get plenty of sleep. The tour content is as others have described, and I can only say that Mr. Yamauchi's guidance was outstanding. This is definitely a recommended tour if you go to Maui.

当初レンタカーで行くことも考えましたがツアーに申し込んで正解でした　カーブの連続で一部ガードレールもない道はプロにお任せした方が安全です　7歳と11歳の子供も参加しましたが休憩を入れながらゆっくり登って行くので問題ありません 車酔いに弱い方はあらかじめ薬を飲んで睡眠をしっかり取っておくと良いでしょう ツアー内容は他の方が書かれている通りで、山内さんのガイドは素晴らしいの一言　マウイ行ったら絶対におすすめのツアーです

Good , but wish it had a little different scenery to zipline. I thought some of them seemed the same., more water and less forest views.

Great food and saw some whales. Very nice crew members.

Our tour guide was so much fun! He even sang us a song with his ukelele!

Delicious pineapples, interesting history telling by the tour guide, very strong alcohols to sample, even had a song sung for us!

Wonderful music and very good food! Friendly attentive staff!

I was moved to see whale breaches multiple times near the shore of Maui Island about an hour after departing from Lahaina Harbor at noon on April 7. I later heard from a local instructor that every year, from winter to early spring, 3,000 whales come all the way from Alaska to this area for calving and raising their young.

４月７日のお昼12時にラハイナ港を出航してから、1時間が経つころにマウイ島の岸辺のすぐ近くでクジラのブリッジを何度も見ることができ感動しました。地元インストラクターの人から、あとから聞いたことですが、毎年冬から春先にかけて3000頭のクジラがお産や子育てのために、この地にはるばるアラスカからやってくるんですって。

great experience. we would go gain thanks hawai activities . have a nice day

We have been coming to Maui for years but have never ventured off the island to visit Lana'i. First of all, Veltra allowed us to change the tour date from a Monday to a Thursday with no problem since we had a conflict come up. The ferry ride from Lahaina was easy and took about 45 minutes. The sea was very calm and although they recommend taking sea sickness pills, it wasn't necessary for this trip. Our tour guide Bruce, met us at the ferry dock on Lana'i. He drove us around in an air conditioned Suburban which was very comfortable. It was just the two of us so the tour was really personalized. We took the full day tour which really gives you a great impression of the island. The tour was about 2 1/2 hours in the morning, then an hour for lunch and 2 hours in the afternoon. Bruce, our guide has lived on Lana'i for 20 years and was very knowledgeable. He has seen the positive changes that have occurred on Lanai' since Larry Ellison bought the island five years ago and thoroughly explained the evolution of the island through the current day. We were then dropped off at the ferry dock for the 4:30 p.m. ferry back to Lanai--note, you need to book the return ferry when you schedule the tour and for the all day tour, the 4:30 p.m. ferry is the one to take.

If you’re looking for a real authentic horseback ride in Maui, this is the one you should book. The guides are amazing! Real down to the earth good people!! If I lived on Maui I would happily volunteer anytime to help out! I LOVED all the animals on the farm!!! Thank you so much for the great time! Will definitely book it again!

The hula itself was amazing. I still find myself mesmerized while looking at the videos I took. The meals were also more than sufficient, and the staff was very considerate. However, there were only Japanese people around, and while the family seated next to us spoke to us, I still felt awkward due to the language barrier. I can't help but think that it would be nice to have a show where you can purely enjoy the hula.

フラ自体は最高でした。今でも撮りためたビデオを眺めてうっとりしています。また食事も必要十分であり、スタッフもいろいろと気遣ってもらえました。ただ日本人は自分たちしかおらず、同じ席に着いた家族には声をかけてもらったりもしたのですがやはり言葉の壁で気まずい思いをしました。なんというか純粋にフラだけを楽しめるショーはないものかと思っています。
